overhaul optimized x86_64 memset asm
on most cpu models, "rep stosq" has high overhead that makes it
undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the
minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size
126, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosq" is
sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu
model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 times slower when the
destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures
alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional
alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial.

this version is based in part on changes proposed by Denys Vlasenko.
